Final count

Jan 1,

My final count for the year was 313 miles, slightly ahead of my goal of 300. As I focus more on strength training, I am not even setting a running goal for 2026. I may get back to it later, but for now I will focus on other things.

First day of the year

Jan 1,

Kika and I started the year with a cold walk by the river. Then Bella and I had lunch, while Lionel and Sofia got ready for their trip to Europe, to drop Sofia off for her semester abroad. We are going to miss her a lot, but we are very excited for her as well and are happy to be able to give her that experience.

Adios 2025

Dec 31,

Some traditions. Some firsts. Some milestones. Small trips. Big trips. Good memories. Hard memories. Sad goodbyes leading to new beginnings. Adios 2025. You were bittersweet.

New Years Eve

Dec 31,

For New Year's Eve, Lionel, Sofia and I went out for dinner. I wanted Bella to come as well, but she had plans with her friends and Lionel and Sofia told me to let her be.  

We went to Trio, had our dinner, and came back home to chill for the rest of the evening. 

Sofifi Mami afternoon

Dec 29,

After family lunch, we had our Sofifi-Mami afternoon. We went to Museum Center to see the Auschwitz exhibit. It was her pick. A very tough topic, but one we need to continue to learn from. We had not been there in years in years, since they were little. The place has not changed much, but it is still a pretty cool building.

Family Lunch

Dec 29,

Yesterday was nice, but today got really cold again. Still, we braved the weather to have lunch at Sotto. We had not been in a while, so I made a reservation. I figured the family would like it, and it felt like a special lunch, at a special location.

Festival of Lights

Dec 27,

One of my favorite Holiday traditions is the Festival of Lights, at the Cincinnati Zoo. Last year only Sofia, Abuelita, and I made it, but this year the four of us went. The weather was very mild, so it was the perfect day to go.
